I'm glad this requires WIndows 10. That makes it much easier to not cave in to temptation.

??? It will run on Windows 7 according to the published requirements. Just need DX12 for Windows 7 installed.

Oh no. I have DX11 installed. What a personal disaster.

I'll just have to wait...

I will get this game as soon as I get an RTX 3080! Being in Canada, I guess this will be some time in the 2nd quarter of 2021! I can't wait!

About that...

Just last night, EVGA announced they revamped their online store. If you sign up for product notifications, you will be entered into a queue. When your turn in the queue comes up, you'll get an email with a special direct purchase link that's good for 8 hours. Currently available for the US and Canada, and will be rolling out to other regions soon. They're doing this as a way around Nvidia's stupid "no pre-orders" rule to stop bots/scalpers.

Each card variant is considered a separate queue, though they may be long lines at this point. Still might be better than stressing over F5'ing every website constantly.

More info.

I can not seriously believe me making a joking term meant " 'Thank God' this game is done - so we can finally play it ..."
...has actually caused a thread derailment larger than a Star Citizen delay

It's gone GOLD! GOLD?! Let's discuss capitalism? Right?

LOL!

This thread is fucking hysterical!!!

hallelujah!

Yay!!

I hope my mediocre forum post of joy and happiness doesn't offend anyone because it has two exclamation marks instead of one.

Also, please don't preorder this game. Pre-orders are dumb and stupid, they do not make you more cool, nor do they save you any money. (If you can get a steep discount on a pre-order then by all means but that is rare). This is probably going to be a great game, still, don't pre-order it. Never pre-order games. Buy it on day-1 if you must. That is all.

No big deal with kxmode being pedantic - his explanation makes a lot of sense in context now.

I've been very keen on not talking about my religion. Explaining what "hallelujah" means isn't even a Jehovah's Witness thing. It's a Jewish expression. I'm educating you on what the original Hebrew word means as it relates to what the Bible shows about God's name, so you know "what that word means before . . . using it." Granted, every time you see or think "hallelujah," thinking "Praise Jehovah, you people" is a form of witness (so that's a good side effect). However, I don't know how you all go from explaining what the word means to whatever innuendos you're reaching. But if it angers you so much, then I won't bring it up further. <3

Anyhow, have fun enjoying the Cyberpunk 2077 GG announcement.

I'm quite the outspoken atheist myself, but I wasn't in the least triggered by your attempt to correct/lecture them regarding a religious term. And I mean that in a friendly way.
People love to interpret everything in the worst way possible here on Bluesnews I think they wanna feel heroic or something? Can't be heroic without some villains, they think.

God bless CD PROJEKT RED!! And hallelujah for the release!!!


...but seriously, this is perfect timing to face Christmas Covid lockdowns, great news

"My religion uses a term, therefor you cannot use it in any other way than we prescribe. The modern definitions and the evolution of speech should be ignored in favour of my invisible friends ancient fairy tales, our rules over rule human nature, you should know that!"

I'm sorry the make believe sky lords are offended through you about our speech. We should strive to abide by your views.

Cthulhu fhtagn.

Ugh, what is going on in this thread? :o

As far as I can tell, Kxmode's religion came into view again, so it's time for a dogpile of smug liberal mockery and derision.

He has a habit of correcting other people's religious views when they do not conform to his.

To me, that's much more smug. No part of him allows for other religions to be correct.

Most religions don't. And I don't see that people on the other side are allowing that maybe there's a god that doesn't want his name taken in vain. Kxmode did what he thought was right. So did everyone else, but with lots of s and high fives. I'm sure it's tolerant derision of his value system. Calling him the smug one doesn't seem any different to me than right wingers calling out the "real racists."

Because others wouldn't leave it alone back at comment #13. I wrote, "This is not an appropriate forum for that. I'll let you all bask in the joy of the announcement." It got disrespectful, so I jumped in to provide meaning and context. I do appreciate your ignoring it. Thank you.

Unless I miss my mark (which happens often enough), it looks like he's referring back to the last time you went on a questionable rant (with which you have made a name for yourself) regarding religion and you vowed that you wouldn't bother we deplorable "swine" with your religious genius...instead you would thankfully steer clear of discussions of mythology.

Yet here we are again.

Hail Satan. May his fires consume the Earth.

Praise the holy goat!

Hallaljewlah.

Unfortunately i'm waiting for the sequel with co-op (fingers crossed). BRB in 2040.
